IndiaA British woman named Lowri Denman claims she contracted neurocysticercosis, a rare parasitic disease caused by the pork tapeworm, during a 2007 trip to India. After returning, she experienced symptoms that led to an MRI revealing 38 parasitic cysts in her brain. Denman, who now requires lifelong medication to manage epilepsy caused by the infection, initially noticed the issue in 2011 when she discovered a meter-long tapeworm.
